The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A tense, surreal first-person shooter where you explore liminal, unsettling environments and piece together a dark narrative through NPC interactions while fighting for escape.

What players say

Players compare it to Cruelty Squad and Deus Ex, praising its psychedelic style, music, and exploration-focused level design. Most note it is early access and incomplete but already very playable, with gunfights that are challenging but fair.
